OUR STORY

Alpha Motorcycles: Born in a Garage, Built for Africa

In a small garage in Kimihurura, Kigali back in 2015, a bold vision took shape—Africa's first commercial electric motorcycle, developed hand-in-hand with moto riders in Kigali for African roads and African riders. Powered by Ampersand, Alpha Motorcycles began as a prototype, a dream to transform transportation while uplifting drivers and protecting the environment.

 

Today, that dream cruises on the streets of Rwanda and Kenya, with about 6,000 Alpha electric motorcycles making an impact. Riders have chosen Alpha for its affordability, durability, and game-changing savings of about 45%—slashing fuel costs and increasing earnings. Every kilometer ridden cuts emissions, proving that innovation born in Africa can drive the continent forward. From a humble garage to a fleet that has revolutionized urban mobility, Alpha Motorcycles is proof that the future of transport is electric, African, and unstoppable.

 

Engineered for Africa. Built for Africans. Join the movement. Ride Alpha.

Switching to Alpha changed everything!
I now save 45% on motorcycle expenses compared to my old fuel bike – which means more earnings for my family and more peace of mind for me.

Riding my Alpha motorcycle has been an absolute game-changer! The performance is outstanding—smooth, powerful, and incredibly efficient. Plus, with Ampersand’s reliable swap stations, I never have to worry about running out of power.
